Going to the Limpopo province late May. What is the typical preventive for Malaria that the more experienced hunters here utilize, or treatment after. Is it necessary for a preventive. Our PH says there is not much concern in their location, it is more prevalent near Kruger, which is 3 hours east from them. Any help is appreciated. I have checked the CDC website, but do we need to be concerned..
 
Well I found my question in some other posts and the answers were similar to what I had expected. I should have searched before I posted.
 
Mefloquinine is now only partially effective, Larium can have serious side effects. Doxicycline as prophylactic or treatment best. Plus take care of long socks / pants at night and watch for holes in your mossy net !
 
Where in limpopo will you be hunting chances are that you most probably do not need any anti malaria, tablets....

Upon reply i can guarantee that you probably DON'T

MY BEST ALWAYS

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
